A dead piano key is when a key on the piano won't play: something in the mechanism is not transferring the force from the key press to the hammer.
It could be an easy fix or could be a difficult fix. It could be as simple as a missing hammer or as complex as regulation. If you get the piano tuned, the tuner should be able to fix the regulation.
I only know uprights and cannot say for a grand piano. But in an upright there are a few regulation screws that when you turn the right ways you can regulate the piano yourself. There is one screw (Capstan) on the key lever itself that may need to be adjusted up to push the hammer into the string. or it could be the regulation on the Jack (letoff) that needs to be brought down, thus pushing the hammer up sooner.
Remember there are thousands of pieces in the piano and just one piece being out of whack can throw the one key out of commission.
